A painting job is not a service call. It runs for days, the crew changes across them, and the money is decided by whether the hours you actually spent match the hours you quoted.
It has to hold a job that runs across several days with hours accumulating against it, so the estimate can be compared to reality while there is still time to react. It has to capture the condition of the surface before anyone opens a tin, because that is the dispute you will have later. On pre 1978 properties it also has to hold the paperwork that regulation puts on you.
The same tools every Pinstripe Fleet customer gets, set up the way this trade runs.
Crew time is tracked against the job rather than the week, so on day three you can see whether a five day quote is turning into an eight day job while you can still do something about it.
Existing damage, previous coats, and problem areas photographed at the walkthrough and attached to the job. Painting disputes are almost always about what the wall looked like beforehand, and memory is not evidence.
The EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule covers paid work disturbing painted surfaces in homes, childcare facilities, and preschools built before 1978. The firm must be certified and staff trained either as a certified renovator or on the job by one. Your close out checklist can require the photos and sign off that work needs, so the record exists on the job.
The invoice comes off the completed job with every day's hours already attached, so a job spread over two weeks bills as one number. The customer pays by card from a link into your own bank account.
Setup starts you with multi day job scheduling rather than fixed routes, a service list built around interior and exterior work, estimates turned on, a close out checklist with before and after photos, and invoicing off the completed job.
Yes. Crew hours attach to the job as they are logged, so you can compare them to the estimate partway through rather than discovering the overrun when you invoice. That is the number that decides whether a painting job made money.
Not as a dedicated compliance module. What it gives you is a required checklist and photo capture on the job, so the record your certified renovator needs is created on site and stored against the job rather than on somebody's phone.
Yes. Appointments attach to the job, so several days and several crews sit on one record with one history and one set of hours, which is what lets the invoice come out as a single number at the end.
Yes. You decide who can see money, and for anyone not allowed to, prices and totals are never sent to their device in the first place rather than being hidden on the screen.
The same platform, set up for a different trade.
Bring three jobs you ran last week and we will build them in front of you. If it cannot handle your real work, you will know in twenty minutes.
